its a sad day... :(

Today i leave Madona for good. this is my last time blogging from the desk in my room. its 930 am and im supposed to be totally packed up and cleaned out of my room by noon becuz thats my ride to ergli. yeh i really am guna have to be quick. but i wanted to just check in. so wednesdat night i got home from ergli. i washed basically all the clothes i have here with me becuz i hadnt done laundry in like 2 weeks. then i proceeded to clean my room another job that i had left undone for some time. thursday we prepared the house for the party to come thursday night and friday morning. only about 8 people came but it was still fun. right before midnight we went to the "town square" so to speak and watched some fireworks, that was pretty fun. a little cold but still a cool experience. we played games and ate latvian food. we ended up staying up till 7 am. and then getting up at 10 i didnt get up till 1030 :). well actually i didnt sleep in a bed i slept on the floor in my room! it was so dumb we were hanging out in my room, daniel, elvis, elmars, and me, it was about 2. and elmars asked me if he could take a nap in my bed, well they were all already laying in it, so i said "sure why not?" well little did i know that he would stay asleep. so i stole my blanket and one of my pillows and camped out on the floor. but over all it was a fun experience. the next day at about 1 everyone left, including me. we walked elvis to the bus station then we all went to rudzons for lunch. then elmars and daniel took a bus back to ergli. and i did a little walking around town taking pictures. then i stopped at rimi to get a few things. spent the evening hanging out with elvis becuz it was my last one here. ok so i feel like everyones probably wondering how daniel is doing. he is doing pretty well, but he doesnt really like it here, and im not sure really actually ever enjoys himself. i feel very bad, i try to come up with fun things for him to do sometimes but idk. hes been ready to come home since he got here. well sunday monday and tuesday we have a winter camp. daniel and i will be attending i think he will actually be a camper. i will be 1/3 camper, 1/3 babysitter, and 1/3 errand runner i think. we'll see. i hope God really move in Daniel at camp. please pray that this will end up being a good experience for him. i am excited to see all of you and talk with people. but idk i want to come back soon. i really like it here, and dan and katie are already coming up with ideas and things for me to do so i can come back. or Diks said i can be his slave. lol fun times. well ttyl :) LOVES!
